About Us

The Christian Puppet Revival (CPR) team is a youth oriented, outreach ministry from St. Paul Lutheran Church in Wyoming, Minnesota. CPR was started in the fall of 1997 by Pastor Jim and Sondra Mericle. The team is currently directed by Carrie Reed.

Each year, the team averages around 25 members, ranging in age from 7 to adult. We travel to churches and organizations in Minnesota and Wisconsin performing for all denominations. Our messages are filled with good news for all Christians.

Following our mission statement, "We Lift Our Hands unto the Lord", CPR brings the good news of Jesus Christ to life through the combination of music and script. Presentations are enhanced through the use of special effects including strobe lights, black lights, and elaborate props creating though provoking imagery.

As a ministry, we do not accept payment for our presentations. However, a freewill offering is always greatly appreciated.
